Gain visibility into any workload in any cloud

Unify visibility of public and private cloud resources including compute, network, and storage with a single pane of glass. Flexera's CMP enables you to see and act on all your cloud resources. Capabilities include:

? Automated discovery of all your cloud resources, including those provisioned through the native cloud consoles.

? Public and private cloud resources in one view with actionable information that enables you to reduce costs, improve infrastructure efficiency, and close security holes.

? Resource grouping by tier, service, or application with deployments to enable contextual visibility.

? Multi-cloud tags that sync bi-directionally with native cloud tags to organize, automate, and report on resources and costs across clouds.

Standardize architectures with multi-cloud templates

Leverage reusable blueprints called Cloud Application Templates (CATs) to orchestrate infrastructure and services across all of your clouds. CATs can provision new workloads and automate ongoing operations to help you:

? Define standardized architectures that meet corporate guidelines for versions, patches, and configuration.

? Leverage your favorite configuration tools including Terraform, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt, Bash, and Powershell, as well as native cloud templates.

? Integrate with your ITSM solutions to add powerful cloud orchestration to your existing service request catalogs.

? Orchestrate any API with built-in support for cloud compute, storage, and networking as well as dozens of pre-built plugins for extended cloud services.

Orchestrate ongoing operations

Manage cloud resources with a powerful orchestration engine that automates actions across fleets of cloud servers and cloud services. With Flexera's CMP, you

? Monitor and optimize performance with server and application monitoring.

? Trigger automation and notifications with alerts and escalations that initiate sophisticated orchestration and automation.

? Ensure uptime with self-healing capabilities, including automated backup, auto-scaling arrays, and automated failover.

? Improve security by quickly rolling out patches across your operating cloud servers.

? Connect to your CI/CD pipelines leveraging APIs to take action on cloud infrastructure and services that are used by your applications.

Manage costs and reduce spend

Optima enables your business units to work together on reporting and optimizing your costs across all clouds and accounts. Optima is included with Flexera's CMP, and enables you to:

? Allocate cloud costs through a hierarchy that lines up with your business units, divisions, and teams.

? Automate reporting to keep resource owners up to date on their cloud spend.

? Accurately plan for cloud spend with three-year forecasts and alerts that notify you when you're exceeding your budget.

? Gain insight into your cloud spend with easy drill-down capability on any metric or tag, including visibility into individual cloud resources.

? Collaborate to save money with built-in recommendations that you can share with team members or individuals.

Govern cloud use with automated policies

Control cloud use with out-of-the-box and custom policies to automate governance of costs, operations, security, and compliance. With Flexera's CMP you can:

? Avoid security holes with policies that identify and alert on misconfigured networking options, unsecured data storage, and non-compliant resources.

? Automate your governance controls with a broad set of out-of-the-box policies or by creating custom policies tailored to your needs.

? E nforce compliance with policies that uncover missing tags and ensure that appropriate regulations are being met.

? Eliminate waste with cost policies that alert on cost anomalies and take automated actions on idle and underused resources.

? Ensure operational resilience with policies that check for required configurations, such as backups or failover systems.
